Dear World
the world is full of selfish people
honesty in a haystack finding the needle
mistrust and violence a daily meal
the world feeds on a shady deal
trust yourself and no one else
no one there when you turn for help
slammed every way and still get up
hope a comfort but not always enough
poison the air to make poisonous gases
people die but oh well your car is fastest
spend your money on clothes and games
while others struggle to find a place
people die over politics and beliefs
others die with nothing to eat
people steal with no remorse
while others cry their throats so coarse
drunken fathers beat innocent kids
no one sees anything wrong with this?
i don't know the solution and don't claim i do
I'm just passing a message from me to you
just make an effort its not that hard
when you see a chance do your part
hold the child as they cry
lend a helping hand instead of walk by
its not your problem and may not effect you
but think of hard times you have been through
a strangers smile is better than nothing
a little bit can add to something
the world is full of selfish people
be the good among the evil
